Apparently it’s possible to build a whole range of vintage tech hubris from the 80’s and 90’s through the power of LEGO. One guy named Chris McVeigh has pain-stakingly put together step-by-step guides to building Ataris and Nintendo gaming consoles, elephantine TV sets with curved screens, vintage gigantic montors and mechanical keyboards, big boomboxes that are destined for a being perched on someone’s shoulder – and if you’re not born in the 80’s or earlier, then you won’t know what the hell I even mean by perching a boombox on your shoulder!

Chris also put together a LEGO version of a rotary telephone with the circular dial on it and old and shabby looking swivel chairs. This is an exceptional commitment to a lost era of technology that many people feel nostalgic for.
